Ok, it wasn't really hard labor. Writing it was mostly heaps of fun. The publishing part qualified as hard labor but, fortunately, that was just a weekend, not 14 months.

And I don't really know how much the paperback version weighs since I don't have one in hand yet. But it's going to have a healthy heft to it.

What's it about, you ask? Well, let me give you an excerpt:

A hand, massive and rough with
callouses, closed over my mouth, dragging me back into an inescapable embrace.
My heart pounded in my ears as I struggled to draw breath through the cracks of
his fingers—and in that moment I knew I was screwed.

Careless. Stupid and careless to walk
alone at night. Just because I hadn’t heard of an abduction in recent weeks
didn’t mean they had stopped.

And here I was … the next victim. Well
done, Carla.

Now what?

None of the other victims had been
killed, so I had that going for me. But whatever was done to them, they’d come
back altered and not in the expected way. According to the papers, their transformation
was unusual … whatever that meant. What could this dark presence do to me that
would change me like that?

I was about to find out, that was for
sure. And I was utterly and completely terrified. Also, I was more than a
little bit turned on.
